Seduction: The taste of Lust Chapter 32: Deep Breaths
Veronica's POVIt took me one hour to drive from this part of the city to his place, Ed lives in a scheduled private area in the city and Leonard lives right in the center,So, driving from there was not only a stupid idea but this drive was one of my intense moments in life. I not only manipulated my thoughts into agreeing to go to Leonards, but I also did a lot of convincing on my way to his place, As a matter of fact, I still don't know why I told him to wait for me, seeing how the day has absolutely exhausted me, I should be resting but here I am almost three minutes to his place. I didn't even tell the guys that I'm leaving, I just got inside my car and took off. They may not even notice that I'm gone, with all the drinks they were having while I was on the call they pretty much have been blacked out by now,I should have stayed there, I mean they got into the trouble of driving to the studio and picking me up but as much as I wanted to stay, I couldn't.I had a lingering feeli

Leonard's povAfter last night, it's easy to say that I'm officially tired. Not only did Veronica hug me the entire night, she even fell asleep in my arms. I had to stay like that in the living room while she was sleeping in my arms. Even my slightest movement of picking her up or adjusting my position was waking her, so I didn't have any option except stay like that with her. Not that I'm complaining, the sound of her breathing and her face resting so closely near my heart was already enough for the pain my back will face tomorrow. I even found myself drifting off sooner than expected, it wasn't until six in the morning that I felt the sunlight on my face that woke me up. I looked down to see her still sleeping. I tried to pick her up and move her to the bedroom when she slowly shifted and cup my waist with her hands, nuzzling closer to my neck.I bit my lips and look at the ceiling that seems like a great place to divert my attention and breathe normally, Thankfully, she didn't

Veronica' POVLeonard gets up from his seat and takes a position near the elevator, since it's private, people who are new to his place are required to pin some passwords for the elevator to run. He types some code on the wall security and some voice greets him, it was a male voice and sounded pretty heavy and hoarse from here or maybe his machine has some voice changer.I got up from the seat and signal him I'm going upstairs to give them some privacy but he instantly refuses and asks me to wait in the living room,As much as this seemed a little uncomfortable I didn't want to upset him so I obeyed and sat on the couch,"You changed the codes again?" a thick voice greeted the silent living room, my ears flicking towards the elevator as I try to listen even though its a bad thing to do but I can't help, the voice is really masculine and I don't want to admit but I just got goosebumps all over my body.Even Leonard's voice didn't give me goosebumps as strong as this one that makes me

Veronica's POV"What the fuck is wrong with me?""Veronica calm down" Kelly blows a puff of air on her newly polished gray nails while listening to my freak show of regret that I literally hampered myself with. In just two minutes everything went haywire, we were having such a good time discussing babies and stuff but now here I am roaming around in my living room like a freaking idiot. When I cut the call with Leonard it took me some time to realize what I asked him, " Seasons, fucking seasons" I bit my lip and massage my temples, "You know there are like five hundred restaurant chains, bars may be more than that in New York but I have to go with Seasons" "You have a date and you're freaking out that's totally normal" she rolls her eyes showing zero interest in my agitated hysteria which by far has increased hearing her say the exact thing I was denying."It's not a date" I made myself clear but who am I kidding she knows that I'm lying, hell I know it too, I just hope Leonard do

Leonard's POVWhy is she bringing that night up? I thought she was supposed to answer me about Rome but the sudden involvement of Kelly's name was not something I expected. "What do you mean?" I ask her while sipping the wine,"Did you hurt" she hesitated but I can see how much she wanted to say those words that may have been the biggest roadblock between us, "did you hurt her that night?" she cleared her throat and sat straight,"I don't know what you're talking" I do though, I can't tell her that. From the start, she blamed me for hurting Kelly and I never explained myself instead I used it to get close to her. The contracts, the game, the lies I've been telling her were all just to get close to her. Just to name my feelings I have for her but now seeing her like this was a wake-up point. "Leonard, don't lie to me" she wasn't blinking, her entire attention was on me, on my body language, my facials, my expressions. It's like she was looking for something to prove that I was indee

LeonardLast night I somehow convinced her to stay the night here and gladly she didn't argue. It was very late and I really didn't want her to go. Now it's eight in the morning and I don't want to wake up. She was in my arms sleeping and as much as I want to think that we had sex the truth was something else, she didn't want me to sleep on the couch so we both agree to sleep on the bed as two mature people who wouldn't do anything.Well surely I was planning on killing myself when she said that but all those resistance thought disappeared when we actually laid together on the bed.I seriously had the best sleep in a very long time and it became even better when in the middle of the night she surprised me with a sudden cuddle. She snuggled herself closer to my body and we both slept like that, hanging in each other's arms, away from the world.From time to time during the night, I would stare at her and I know it sounds creepy to watch a person sleep but after our argument, I was sca

Veronica"Kelly?" I walk inside my apartment, throwing the shoes on the floor and putting the takeouts on the table, "I brought food" I looked around the room but she wasn't there, maybe she's out.You know what that means, I finally got some time for myself. I quickly slip my fur slippers and hop on the couch, resting my head on the headboard and letting a long breath out, "I'm tired" a yawn escapes my mouth and I slowly close my eyes thinking about the car ride I had with Leonard.*Thirty minutes ago*"What?" he asks dumbfoundedI creek a smile " wasn't the main point of our meeting was Rome?" I gesture towards the Seasons building reminding him why we were here in the first place. I was supposed to answer him but got caught up in something else, "right?" he looks at the building as he remembers the very thing he asked me,"you want to come?" he said not believing that I agreed just like that, maybe he thought I would hold back because of our situation and the stupid media complica

Veronica's PovEd hasn't said a word to me after that, we are still in the living room except for my mom, who was sleeping in my room. She had fun catching on to my life through my friends but the exhaustion from the flight hit her and made her cranky so to save myself and everybody else, I asked her to rest.Now, it was eleven-thirty and as much as I want to crash on my bed and sleep I know Ed's non-responsiveness towards me will not let me have a peaceful sleep. One of them already knows that the rumors are true, actually two of them, Kelly as well, and now that the rest also knows about the rumors might as well tell them too that it's true.I clink my wine glass catching all their attention, "guys" I stand up and centered myself, "as you know there are a lot of rumors about me and-""Leonard" Lexi interuppts,"Well yes," I smile and continue, "the more so reason to tell you guys that whatever they're saying-""Is not true, we know Veronica" Aiden raises his beer can and clinks it

One year and six months later, Leonard's POV "You know I hate bow ties," I say to Andrew who was busy ignoring me. He made some sort of knot with the strip of cloth and pat the shape into a very formal-looking bow tie. "Stop being a baby. It's not every day that I get to make bow ties for you and it's not the first time you're doing something that you don't like because of Veronica," He says glancing up at me, "You're just saying that because you're single." He tightens the knot around my neck, "Hey! Easy man," He scoffs and lets go of my bow tie. "See, who can tell you're the same Leonard King who used to torture people in underground warehouses? Now, you look like a guy who is completely whipped by his girl," I raise an eyebrow, "It's fancy coming from someone who follows a woman who gives you no attention," "Oh, C'mon we both know that she's trying to play hard, and just because she doesn't like me now, that doesn't she won't in the future. Look at me, I am so lovable t
Seduction: The taste of Lust Epilogue
Three months later,"I can't believe she's already in labor"I quickly put on my shirt and threw some pants over as I slip out of the bed, Leonard dressing up as well. "Why did it have to happen now?" he sulked while wearing his shoes, " wear some pants before you slid those shoes" I smile and comb my hair to the adjoining dressing table.The last three months were bliss. Many things happened during these months and I just believe we are here now, the storm finally passed and the cloud looks serene, it's blue and happy, Ironic isn't it?I have moved in with Leonard a few weeks ago and we never left the bed during those weeks, I mean we did but you know what I mean. The moment he shut his door with me inside all we could do was kiss and kiss, then suck maybe lick, and sometimes even more.We were happy, I was happy. We talked about some stuff, his past, my past, our future and till now it's looking good. We don't need to plan ahead and ruin all the surprises. I sometimes find it fun
Seduction: The taste of Lust Chapter: 46 Love means Us
LeonardShe is okay, he said. She lost a lot of blood but she is okay, they had to perform surgery to close the wound and stop the blood but she is okay. Nothing serious but she is sore, the wound was deep and she needed intensive care. I was listening intently to the words of the doctor, the treatment they'll do on her, the medicines they'll gonna use, the amount of time she needs in the ICU, what kind of food she needs for the next few days and almost every other thing that'll fasten her recovery."She is doing fine Mr. King, you can wipe off that vein from your forehead" the doctor smiles and pats my shoulder, "also when you ask for a doctor next time, try to be nice and not scary," he says and starts to leave,"Doc?" I softly call him out making him stop on his tracks, "can I....?" he understands my question and nods his head,I braced myself and enter the room where they just put Veronica. I hesitantly walk over to the bed, afraid to see her covered in bandages, afraid that she
Seduction: The taste of Lust Chapter: 45 Annihilation
VeronicaFuck they spiked my drink. How didn't I think of that before drowning the whole thing down my throat? The icky feeling against my inside is still there, I feel nauseous. I open my eyes and looked around the room, crap they switched the room. This is not where I was before. This room is so much smaller than the previous one. It's like a prison, faded grey walls, wallpaper peeling from the sides, a little window on the top, and one tiny bed on the left side. The whole room gave me a claustrophobic vibe. I tried getting up, my leg was numb from sitting too long but still, I managed to wiggle it up when I notice my hands, the cuff was gone. I wasn't tied so they indeed locked me. I put my right arm on the wall supporting myself for a stand and lazily walked to the door. I tried opening it but none to my surprise was locked. I slouched to the bed and rest my head when I heard something. A sound, possibly of breaking a door, I faced the ceiling trying to hear the sound again an

Leonard"Spice talk to me" "She's here""Is she hurt?""Yes"My grip around the phone was getting tighter with each information. She's hurt, they fucking hurt her. If I hadn't planted Spice among them, then locating Veronica would have taken days. Now I know who they are, how many of them are involved, and what I need to do.I fiercely hung up the call and turn my face, meeting the ever-ready look of my people, just one command and they are off. I gesture to them to bring Spencer and follow Plan Klutz, if we are doing this then I want to end it perfectly. My lifelong habit of planning everything in advance comes in handy, I've looked through all the outcomes when the chip was gone, fighting against Viking was one of them. I prepared it in advance knowing if anything goes haywire with the chip then we have nothing but to follow plan Klutz which means taking down the Viking members, the security, and every other who knows how to use a gun with a paralyzing drug.Who knew Veronica wo

Leonard"Where are you going?" Andrew hurriedly got up and pulled me by my arms, "we're almost done Leo, don't you dare screw this" he warned me but I think he's forgetting something.I don't take orders, I unhand myself from his hold and threw a punch at his face. "Stay here and get the chip, I need to go" I bang my hand against the picture telling him to grasp the situation.He looks at the picture while covering his nose, "holy fuck" "I'm leaving you in charge, take care of this and safely board the flight with the chip, I'm leaving"He wipes his blood and pats my shoulder asking me to hurry, "and my father knows about the situation, he's covering the deal so fly it to him"I ran down the entrance and exited the building instructing my people to follow Andrew and board out before midnight.I get inside the car and quickly drove to the airport, messaging Nil my private pilot, on the way to get the plane ready. I take this chance and dialed Veronica's number but as expected it went
Seduction: The taste of Lust Chapter: 42 Disaster doesn't knock
Veronica"Lexi?" I called her name out as I untied my shoes and neatly placed them on the rack. I walked inside her apartment and take my regular spot on her barcalounger. Her place is exactly the same, nothing changed. Retro carpets, brick walls, and vases along with the hanging pots with artificial flowers on the windows.I notice a couple of new refrigerator magnets by the kitchen and I don't know if I'm putting the pattern right or not but one of the magnets seems to be for me. A letter L in red is crossed off and tell me if I'm being paranoid but I think it means Leonard and the cross is her way of saying I should break up with him.Seriously I don't understand. I thought we cleared all the negative assumptions about him so why get a magnet that could mean literally anything but it has to be this. I got up and walk to the kitchen opening the fridge and getting a beer before closing it a little harder to let the magnets fall but they didn't.I support my arms on the counter and

Leonard,I was on the bed when I got the call, the most awaited call of my life, "boss we got him" that's what I needed to hear, that's what they said, that's what's going to make my life a bit easier. They got him, they fucking got the one who stole the real chip from Kelly and replaced it with a fake one,Yes, the real chip was with Kelly but someone who has access to both Veronica and Kelly got the chip first and replaced it with a fucking fake one,When Aiden brought that chip at the party I knew it was fake all along. The person who has the real chip is working with someone close to us and to find out who it was I needed to give a dramatic performance to make both Aiden and Andrew believe that I had no clue about the chip being fake. One of them is linked with that person and the way I react and behave is very observed by this person, so not only did I plant my people on Veronica's friend, I even made a public gesture to get this person out of his holeAnd now that he's out, he

Veronica's POVToday ends everything. I have waited for this day for so long and now that it's here I'm getting all scared and nervous. I don't know what the ruling will be but I'm confident in my case.Right now I was sitting on the plaintiff's seat with my lawyer on the right side of the room. There are some paperwork on our table and soon the crowd started to appear, I asked Leonard to arrange two reporters to witness the case ruling and as easy they were to spot they all looked like someone who's been seriously haggard. I hope Leonard didn't put too much pressure on them cause from the looks of it they look a bit terrified. I look around the room and spot my mom, Lexi, and Kelly sitting on the seat behind mine with a concerned expression. They look worried and seriously seeing their faces is making me more nervous, There are ten minutes on the clock till the judge appears and I'm freaking out. What if the case doesn't work in my favor, what if she bribed someone to replace the
